How does it feel to be on the F.A.M.E. Team?

It’s been a life goal of mine for some time now, so to finally make it made me feel ecstatic. I’m so excited to get to know my teammates and spend an incredible year with the amazing Jamie Stevens.

Tell me about your application process.

The process can be quite gruelling. After trying six times, I finally cracked it. The semi-final is a day full of tight time schedules, innovative thinking and pure pressure. The process is built to find who is confident enough to take on a year’s worth of intense training, shows and shoots. Would I do it again? Ask me in a year’s time!

What are you most excited about for the year?

I’m most excited about stretching myself. I think this experience is going to really test me as a hairdresser but also humble me, and allow me to build relationships with my teammates and mentor. After trying for so long, I’m also excited about the whole experience and how it will benefit me and my salon team.

What’s the one thing you want to achieve this year?

I just want to be a better hairdresser. Running a business that’s in its early years, I struggle to find time to educate myself so this will definitely be a great way to improve my skill set, build my confidence and learn to enjoy myself a little more.
